Аннотация: The effect of nonbridging oxygen centers (NBOs) of a silica surface on the interaction of O-2 with small Ag-n clusters (n = 3,4) has been studied computationally, using a scalar relativistic density functional method and embedding in an elastic polarizable environment described by molecular mechanics. Two types of O-2 adsorption, mПоказать полностьюolecular and dissociative, were analyzed. The electrostatic interaction of the metal clusters with the silica surface stabilizes adsorbed oxygen species, particularly those obtained via dissociative adsorption. O-2 dissociation seems feasible on both silver clusters, Ag-3 and Ag-4, but relatively high activation barriers render O-2 dissociation less probable than O-2 desorption. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
